Description

A medieval manuscript launches a modern treasure hunt lightly dusted with black humor. William Dougal is a postgraduate student of history with expensive tastes and low moral fibre.Thus it is that when he stumbles on the garotted corpse of his detested tutor, he doesn't call the police. Instead, he slips away.Naturally, his actions don't go undetected. Enter the suave James Hanbury with the reminder that the dead man was an authority on Caroline Minuscule, a Medieval script that may convey a very modern message. Douglas is pushed . onto a slippery slope which leads to a slippery slope which leads toward a cache of diamonds - and more murders.Winner of the John Creasey Best First Novel Award from the Crime Writers Association
